  • Around the World Lap 5 - --- Episode 46: 206 BCE the Silk Road --Thu 9pm eastern



    Thursday night we will be visiting Turkmenistan in 206 BC during the Han dynasty to help establish one of the most important trade routes in history, the Silk Road.

    Thursdays flightplan is as follows:

    Turkmenbashi, Turkmenbashi departure (UTAK)
    Kizyl Arvat, Kizyl Arvat (UT55)
    Dashoguz, Dashoguz (UTAT)
    Turkmenabat, Turkmenabat (UTAV)


    A flightplan .PLN file for this flight can be found here:

    This flight will take place using JoinFS!


    As always with these Around the World flights the preferred aircraft is the timeless Captain sim C130 Hercules, but feel free to use any cargo prop that can maintain 250 KIAS at around 16,000 ft. Please do Not bring a jetliner to this event because they stick out like a sore thumb and are a distraction.

    Not sure what to fly?

    For those who don't have or don't want to fly the C-130, this should help you decide.
    • An-12 Most similar to C-130. Most extras (airbrake, autothrottle, paradrop). Russian annotations. Most difficult to fly.
    • An-32 Most frame-rate friendly. Best cockpit model. Easy to fly except long spool time. Needs refueling on long flights.
    • Howard 500 Easy for piston engine pilots. Best climber. Tail-dragger. Performance tails off at altitude. Poorest frame rates.
    • C-119 Boxcar Easiest to fly.
      • Re-engined (French) variant: Faster. Normal climb rates.
      • Normal engine variants: Slower. Half the climb rate so gets left behind on short-medium length flights.

    Happy landings,
